He asks, I answer
CHUCK McCUTCHEON, on the elusive middle-ground in the gun control debate, asks:
Why can’t a gun-control compromise be found to prevent such incidents?
First, because there is no compromise to prevent these instances. The Red Lake incident occurred because someone broke the law by killing someone to take their gun. Second, there is no compromise as one side just wants to pass any gun law no matter how ineffective or arbitrary. The assault weapons ban did nothing to stop crime, yet they want one. They want 50 caliber bans, despite these not being used in crimes.
We could just ban murder, oh wait.

Chuck ought to haul his ox and his ass over to triggerfinger and read about DC gun registration, if he wants to grok “reasonable”. Sheesh.

Blame the criminal, not the equipment he used… harsher penalties for murder and a more widespread use of capitol punishment… maybe then people will get the message?
